"No Country For Old Men" wins best picture Oscar

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "No Country For Old Men," the
violent chase movie from the Coen brothers, won the Oscar for
best picture on Sunday after earning the near universal favor
of critics and Hollywood's talent guilds.

The film, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, won four Oscars,
also taking best directing, best adapted screenplay and best
supporting actor.

Spanish performer Javier Bardem, playing a cold-blooded
killer who often decides the fate of random victims with the
toss of a coin, took the best supporting actor Oscar.

"No Country For Old Men" -- adapted from the Cormac
McCarthy novel of the same name -- beat out "There Will Be
Blood," "Michael Clayton," "Atonement" and "Juno" for the best
picture honor.
